Scott,
In the US, the regulations rounds on the type of product and where it will be
used. For example:
If the product will be used in the workplace then Osha NRTL regs apply.
If the product will be used in the home or around schools, then CPSC regs
apply.
If the product is a medical device then FDA regs apply
Most products fall under multiple regulators as for example, a hospital is both
a medical space as well as a workplace. Thankfully, most us regulations
reference voluntary consensus standards so one round of testing will often
satisfy all safety regulators.
